Salute announced a trailblazing collaboration with Ecolab enabling customers to protect their AI investments by reducing complexity and mitigating risks in direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling. Though this collaboration, Ecolab’s innovative Cooling-as-a-Service (CaaS) program will become integral to Salute’s groundbreaking DTC Liquid Cooling Operations Service. Ecolab’s CaaS solves one of the most complex challenges for liquid cooling in data centers by simplifying the management of the technology loop, which is the centerpiece of DTC cooling systems.
“To achieve operational excellence in AI environments, companies need to ensure the performance and reliability of the tech loop. It is the beating heart and circulatory system of your cooling systems, and it must be managed properly to prevent downtime and ensure performance. Ecolab’s CaaS program does exactly that,” said John Shultz, Chief Product Officer, AI and Learning Officer for Salute. “Ecolab is a globally trusted name in cooling management in dozens of industries; their solution for these cooling systems delivers tremendous value and peace of mind to data center operators. Together, we are further mitigating the risks of liquid cooling and protecting the investments that companies are making in AI computing.”
Enabled by Ecolab’s CaaS program, Salute’s DTC Liquid Cooling Operations service is a comprehensive solution that mitigates the risks that liquid cooling introduces into data centers, particularly as AI operations rapidly scale. It represents a state-of-the-art advancement for world-class AI and HPC operations, and has been adopted by a rapidly growing list of data center operators.
Ecolab’s CaaS program brings together a full suite of cooling management solutions that help unlock peak cooling performance all the way from the data center facility environment to the high-performance data computing servers. The program incorporates high-performance water management technology, smart coolant distribution units, connected coolants, and 3D TRASAR™ monitoring technology, all delivered through Ecolab’s global service team.
“Ecolab’s CaaS program simplifies one of the most complex aspects of AI operations: maintaining the performance of the technical loop that protects critical equipment in AI and HPC data centers,” said Mukul Girotra, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Ecolab’s Global High Tech division. “This service addresses complex operations challenges for companies investing in high-performance computing and supports companies to tap into the unmatched experience and global resources that Ecolab provides.
